The Bolivian Revolution of 1952 was a significant political movement led by the Revolutionary Nationalist Movement, in collaboration with liberals and communists, aiming to reshape Bolivia's socioeconomic landscape. Key figures included former presidents Víctor Paz Estenssoro and Hernán Siles Zuazo. The revolution established universal suffrage, land distribution, and state control over natural resources, while integrating peasants and women into political life. It occurred during the Cold War and was notably supported by the United States, paralleling the Mexican Revolution and preceding the Cuban Revolution.
